ASU Bio 201 Lab Practical 1 Axial Skeleton 100% Correct

ASU Bio 201 Lab Practical 1 Axial Skeleton 100% Correct Atlas (C1) has Lateral Masses which articulate with the occipital condyles of the skull; rotates on the dens of the axis; lacks a body. Axis (C2) allows rotation of the head via the dens (odontoid process); dens is unique to the axis. Body (Centrum) mass of spongy bone and red bone marrow covered with a shell of compact bone; weight-bearing portion of the vertebra. Canaliculi channels running between lacunae. Cancellous (Spongy) Bone (function/locations) red bone marrow produces blood cells in a process known as hematopoiesis. Locations: skeleton; deep to compact bone. Carotid Canal allows the passage of the internal carotid arteries; located in the temporal bone. Central Canal runs longitudinally through long bones for blood vessels and nerves to travel. Coccyx inferior to the sacrum; the "tailbone"; composed of 4 fused bones (Co1-4). Condyle a rounded knob that articulates with another bone. Coronal Suture serrate suture that follows the coronal (frontal) plane; acts as a joining point of the frontal bone and the parietal bones. Coronoid Process attachment point for temporalis muscle Cranial Cavity composed of frontal bone, parietal bones, occipital bone, temporal bones, ethmoid bone, and sphenoid bone. Cribriform Plate (CRIB-rih-form): forms the roof of the nasal cavity allowing various olfactory nerves to pass through. Crista Galli small crest that anchors protective
